Nearly 400 people gathered at the brand-new Domino Park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in September 2018 for RPA’s first-ever benefit, Celebrate the Tri-State, to help us celebrate the remarkable contributions to the region of our three honorees. To the west, a spectacular view of the park, the river and the Manhattan skyline. To the north, the soon-to-be-reclaimed Domino Sugar Factory. To the east, a dramatic new residential building, 325 Kent. To the south, the rumbling of the L Train on the Williamsburg Bridge.
The marquee honoree at Celebrate the Tri-State is the Project of the Year. The Above and Beyond award offers an opportunity for RPA to thank an individual who has truly gone above and beyond for the organization. The Making it Happen award is designated for an individual who has bold ideas and has been able to implement them.
